MinGW Special Interest Group

Mission

The Fedora MinGW project's mission is to provide an excellent
development environment for Fedora users who wish to cross-compile
their programs to run on Windows, minimizing the need to use Windows
at all. In the past developers have had to port and compile all of
the libraries and tools they have needed, and this huge effort has
happened independently many times over. We aim to eliminate
duplication of work for application developers by providing a range of
libraries and development tools which have already been ported to the
cross-compiler environment. This means that developers will not need
to recompile the application stack themselves, but can concentrate
just on the changes needed to their own application.
